Heavy equipment parts include blades, buckets, tracks, tires, hydraulic cylinders, cables, shovels, dump truck beds, frames, loader cabs, booms, counterweights and hooks. They are used in bulldozers, graders, front loaders, excavators, cranes and dump trucks. These parts can be purchased new or used from various suppliers.
Heavy equipment parts range from blades and buckets to tracks and tires. Hydraulic cylinders, cables, and shovels are all heavy equipment parts that can be found on many different types of equipment. Dump truck beds, truck frames, and loader cabs are heavy equipment parts that can be purchased both new and used from a variety of suppliers. Booms, counterweights and hooks are all heavy equipment components that can be replaced, upgraded or simply rebuilt.
Many types of heavy equipment use large steel blades to cut through the earth. Bulldozers and graders incorporate blades into the design of the machines. Other important and heavy pieces of equipment are the extremely large buckets that adorn the front of the front loaders. Perched on the end of large steel arms and actuated by large hydraulic cylinders, the buckets are occasionally large enough to park a compact car inside, and have room for a motorcycle too. Other components connected to the loaders are huge wheels and tires.
Tracks are typical parts of heavy equipment that are easily identifiable. Being used on excavators, dozers and cranes, the heavy steel tracks are driven by large sprockets and ride on large rollers, called bogeys. Tracks can often be repaired if they break by replacing just one or more sections of track. Track weight is commonly the most difficult aspect of the part to overcome when servicing large machines. Hydraulic cylinders adorn most types of heavy equipment, so cylinders are also easily recognizable heavy equipment parts.
Cranes use large rollers filled with heavy wire rope to lift the enormous weight that is commonly handled by machines. Excavators use a large steel bucket mounted on the end of a long arm to dig deep into the ground. Using a long and short stick along with the large bucket and hydraulic cylinders, crawler excavators display many of the most common heavy equipment parts on one machine. Large counterweight units are attached to the rear of a crane to offset some of the weight lifted. Additional jib arms can be attached to the jib end to allow the crane to move further away from the cab during lifting.
Dump truck beds, cabs and large engines are all heavy equipment components commonly found when wandering through a used parts yard. Also found in the backyards are giant steel hooks and wrecking balls. Complete machines also sit in shipyards, waiting to be rebuilt or dismantled of needed parts.
